In the Core program, you’ll learn, drill, and train a host of historical techniques. This 2 hour program is more physically and mentally demanding than the intro, and will rotate through a curriculum of 40 two hour classes, taking about a year to get through, but designed to allow you to start at any point in the rotation. Some club equipment is available for those seeking to drill at faster tempos, like helmets, gloves, and padded fencing armor for arms, body, and legs. We can also guide you in collecting your own gear over time. A cup, if needed, is required for sparring.
